Resplendent Quetzal DSC_5955

In this image, the male quetzal seems to have a treat that he brought for the female. He was showing off his backside and displaying the treat unless that's his tongue. Either way, I hope he managed to impress the female. He sure was putting on a show. I was so impressed with this beauty that I put up three images of him in a row.

 

Costa Rica has many splendid looking birds and butterflies and so much more. If you are thinking of going, do your research on the type of wildlife and scenery you wish to see and when the best time to see those things are. It's definitely worth a trip if nature is your thing.

 

Then again, the city was pretty awesome too. Although, rush hour is a bit crazy. Traffic on the interstate near the airport gets so backed up that people go to the middle where the guardrails are and sell snacks, sunglasses, sunscreen and water as traffic is moving along. I have never seen anything like that before.

 

Have a wonderful day and happy snapping.
